Pelosi’s office releases four-page ‘fact sheet’ outlining Trump ‘shakedown’ of Ukrainian officials by Madison Dibble October 21, 2019 05:00 PM
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office compiled its impeachment argument into a four-page “fact sheet” outlining President Trump’s alleged “shake down,” “pressure campaign,” and “cover up” of the Ukrainian phone call.
The document outlined the impeachment argument of the House Democrats using quotes from Trump, as well as other administration officials.
She argued that the transcript of the phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proved a “shakedown” by the president to get information on his 2020 competitor Joe Biden.
Pelosi, 79, headed the section of her fact sheet using another partial quote from the phone call where Trump said, “I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it.”
She included the quote from the transcript of Trump asking for an investigation into Biden when he said, “There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it … It sounds horrible to me.”
The speaker then outlined a “pressure campaign,” alleging that Trump worked to silence those in his administration who opposed his efforts against Biden. She included quotes from U.S. Ambassador Bill Taylor, who called the administration’s plan to withhold aid “crazy.”
She then alleged that Trump’s administration completed a “cover up” of the attempted quid pro quo. Pelosi included quotes from the whistleblower’s report, which claimed the White House attempted to “lock down” details about the phone call.

It sounds horrible to anyone who isn't a partisan hack. Blaming the messenger is a trick as old as the hills!
